Flexible electronics, like electronic skin (e‐skin), rely on stretchable conductive materials that integrate diverse components to enhance mechanical, electrical, and interfacial properties. However, poor biocompatibility, bacterial infections, and limited compatibility of functional additives within polymer matrices hinder healthcare sensors' performance. This study addresses these challenges by...

In article number 2401201, Chun Che Lin and co‐workers developed a hydrogel for electronic skin, incorporating polyvinyl alcohol, konjac glucomannan, borax, and flower‐shaped silver nanoparticles (PKB/F‐AgNPs). Demonstrating excellent mechanical resilience, rapid self‐healing, and superior biocompatibility, its antibacterial efficacy against common pathogens was enhanced under blue...

Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are high‐performance adsorbents for atmospheric water harvesting but have poor water‐desorption ability, requiring excess energy input to release the trapped water. Addressing this issue, a Janus‐structured adsorbent with functional asymmetry is presented. The material exhibits contrasting functionalities on either face – a hygroscopic face interfaced with a photothermal...
